Video

Info

This one hour video demonstrates how five teachers use student teacher conferences to help their students improve as writers. The workshop provides classroom illustrations of several different approaches to conferring with students including formal one-on-one conferences, informal one-on-one interactions, and formal and informal conferences with student response groups. Through interviews and discussion, the teachers reflect on their practices: planning effective one-on-one and group conferences, achieving a balance between providing direction and taking over students' papers, using conferences to assess student learning and communicate expectations, and dealing with classroom management issues related to conferencing.
